New Link to NRSV

I've been reading the daily office lectionary each day so far this advent. I've found that if I look it up online, I can read it and refer to it several times each day, whenever I come back to the computer. I think this will help me keep up with this activity more easily than if I were using a hand-held Bible. Only problem is that Bible Gateway doesn't have the translation of the Bible that our church uses. I like being able to read it in several versions, but I really wanted to be able to see the NRSV as one of them. So thanks to Father John Gibson, I have a new link to the NRSV, and I'm posting it with my links at the side of this blog. The website is called Oremus Bible Browser.

Gospel Based Discipleship

I received a booklet from our diocese with Gospel readings for each day of the church year. Yesterday was the first day of the church year - the first day of Advent. I really want to read and reflect on these this year. I know I won't be disciplined enough to read each day, but I will strive to do that. I really want to develop a discipline of reading and reflecting on scripture every day. I currently do it so haphazardly. So we'll see how it goes. Yesterday's reading was Matthew 25:1-13 and today's is Luke 20:1-8. There is nothing listed in the booklet like questions to help reflect on the passages. I'll just have to reflect on my own. I am looking forward to it.
